Patent attributes
Disclosed are a system and a method for purchasing items from a merchant system using friction-less payment processing technology. A user initiates a purchase transaction from a user interface of the merchant system by submitting an indication or intent to use payment proxy in lieu of payment information or login credentials or signing-into accounts. An auto-payment component then generates a payment request including the payment proxy and sends the request to a payment service system. The payment service system uses the payment proxy to identify a financial account associated with the customer and the merchant. The payment service system initiates a transfer of a payment amount associated with the purchase transaction from a financial account associated payment proxy to a financial account associated with the merchant system to pay for the purchase transaction.
